Homemade Chicken Bone Broth
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds assorted chicken bones
  • 6 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 2 unpeeled carrots, cut into chunks
  • 2 stalks celery with leaves, cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, unpeeled and quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 12 cups water, or as needed
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2
Take all the ingredients - chicken bones, garlic cloves, carrots, celery, and onion - and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle some olive oil over the top of everything, making sure they're all well-coated.
3
Put the baking sheet in the oven and let it roast for 30 minutes. Halfway through, give everything a good stir to ensure even cooking.
4
Take the roasted bones and vegetables out of the oven and transfer them into a large 6-quart slow cooker. Add some vinegar, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns to give it a rich flavor.
5
Cover the slow cooker completely with water, making sure all the bones and vegetables are submerged. Then, cook it on a low setting for 24 to 48 hours - but don't overdo it, as this can make the broth too strong.
6
As you cook, add more water if necessary to keep everything covered. This will help the bones release their flavors and nutrients into the broth.
7
Once you're done cooking, strain the broth using a fine mesh strainer to remove any solids.
8
Pour the delicious homemade broth into clean jars and refrigerate them until you're ready to use it.
